Manufacturing a customized mastectomy bra, using medical images obtained for breast cancer treatment, could be suggested as an alternative instead of the anthropometric method. However, the breast shape of a medical image is deformed from the anthropometric method as the measurement posture is different between the anthropometric method for making clothes and the medical image. As a breast consists of adipose tissues and a few muscles without bones, there is a possibility that a bra can be manufactured if the volume is constant. Therefore, a hypothesis was established that the volume of the breast would be constant, even if the measurement methods were different. As a result of the comparison of 3D-SIM and PPM by MRI, 18 items could be measured simultaneously. Nine items showed differences according to the measurement method. The next step in the case of 3D-SIM was calculating the volume by separating the breast shape into a cone and a hemispherical shape; in the case of MRI, an ellipsoidal volume formula was applied. A t-test was performed on the results obtained, showing no significant difference. Therefore, it was proven that the volume of the breast does not change despite the difference in the measurement and the measurement method.
制造定制的乳腺癌乳房切除术胸罩，可以使用为乳腺癌治疗获得的医学图像作为替代，而不是使用人体测量方法。然而，由于医学图像的测量姿势与制作衣服的人体测量方法不同，因此其乳房形状与人体测量方法相比会发生变形。由于乳房由脂肪组织和少量肌肉组成，没有骨骼，因此如果体积保持不变，制造胸罩是有可能的。因此，提出了一个假设，即即使测量方法不同，乳房的体积也将保持不变。通过对 MRI 的 3D-SIM 和 PPM 进行比较，可以同时测量 18 个项目。有 9 个项目根据测量方法显示出差异。在 3D-SIM 的情况下，下一步是通过将乳房形状分为锥形和半球形来计算体积；在 MRI 的情况下，应用了椭圆形体积公式。对获得的结果进行 t 检验，结果无显著差异。因此，证明了尽管测量和测量方法存在差异，但乳房的体积不会改变。
